MateTue, 08 Oct 2013 12:29:06 +0000http://www.gamefront.com/?p=244905#comment-397333I have never had a problem with drivers on AMD, nor overheating or any other issue. On the other hand, I had to throw away a brand new GTX 560Ti, since it was crashing in Metro 2033, Just Cause 2, there were graphical glitches in GTA IV. Not to mention the card was overheating in a good ventilated Fractal Design case with temps reaching 90 Celsius and was loud as hell (Asus DirectCU II). So I swapped to a Sapphire 7850 2GB and now everything is finally stable, nothing crashes, temps are really low and I don't even know that the card is there (so quiet!).
For me it's Nvidia who has buggy drivers and are unreliable. And google the issues, I'm not alone.
And after this sh.tty move by Nvidia, I will never ever again use their cards and advise everyone I know to avoid Nvidia.
Ah also, Nvidia where is your bitcoin mining performance? I can't see it ;)I have never had a problem with drivers on AMD, nor overheating or any other issue.

So you were paid by an nVidia partner who received funds from nVidia to do this and the check hasn't cleared yet. The question should be posed as follows:
"Has Origin PC, including any of the following: the company, it's employees, and the employees' families, received funds and/or incentives or the promise of funds and/or incentives from ANYONE in relation to the discontinuance of AMD graphics cards at Origin PC."
I thing we know the answer to that one...
"KW: They did not reach out to me. No calls, emails, or tweets."
Unless I missed it, I didn't see where Charlie claimed they had spoken to Kevin directly. Also, it doesn't mean that SA didn't reach out to other employees within Origin PC.Kevin Wasielewski: No. In fact, I called my NVIDIA rep and told them I am dropping AMD. Not the other way around.

psycrosMon, 07 Oct 2013 05:55:15 +0000http://www.gamefront.com/?p=244905#comment-397192Its unlikely that Nvidia paid Origin to drop AMD. What IS likely is that AMD refused to pay Origin to use their hardware while Nvidiia *did*. AMD would never admit to this practice, which is quite common in many industries, and they can't expose Nvidia's payola without exposing their own as well. Neither company makes any real money off of a niche seller like Origin - in fact they probably give kickbacks to EVGA to provide Origin with at-cost GPUs. However, its darn good PR to have your chips as the throbbing graphics heart of a monster PC. Nvidia probably met Origin's minimum price for the "advertising" this quarter and AMD didn't.Its unlikely that Nvidia paid Origin to drop AMD.

avrus96Sun, 06 Oct 2013 17:30:21 +0000http://www.gamefront.com/?p=244905#comment-397170I don't see any downside to dropping AMD in the way that they did. Battlefield 4 will run just as well on Nvidia chips as on AMD, and - as stated in the article - with fewer driver issues. And what about the FCAT/frame-pacing fiasco. Would a custom PC builder really want to deal with that?
>>> Also, if we're set on someone paying them off, it could easily have been EVGA (EVGA branding is clearly visible in many of their photos, not "NVIDIA") - EVGA is also the only brand of videocard available in their new "Geforce GTX Battlebox" computer design.
Perhaps try confirming what sort of partnership exists between Origin PC and EVGA?I don’t see any downside to dropping AMD in the way that they did.

All signs point to yes except origin denying it. Even as a marketing ploy, this will damage their reputation.Even if for some belligerent reason they decided that AMD no longer represents their brand, they couldn’t have picked a worse time to do it.
